In Fig. 4 I have illustrated a modified form of my invention wherein 12. is a back portion, preferably of pasteboard or card board, s1rn 1lar to the v back-portion 5 and provided at one end with a flap 13 similar to the flap 9 and having a button hole 1 4 formed therein,such,back portion having a plurality o shirt holding bands 15,- ref.

Obviously changes in the form of .construction of my shirt wrapper may be resorted to without departing from the .spirit of my invention or sacrificing any of its advantages.

What I'claim is:

In a shirt wrapper of the class described, the combination with a back portion, of means for holding a folded shirt in contact with said back portion, and a flap disposed on one end of said back portion and provided with a 'button hole through -which a button may be inserted to button said back portion to the neckband of said shirt.

2. In a shirt wrapper of the class described, the combination with a back portion formed 0'5 'stifi material, as cardboard,

of a flap formed on oneend of said back portion and disposed at right angles thereto said flap being provided with a button hole whereby, it may be secured to the neck-band of a shirt.
